If you're asking if there are any bands that constant radio play that are on the same level of artistic credibility as the Pumpkins during the 90s, well then I don't know. I still have a lot of admiration for Tool and Muse, don't care what anyone says.

My point was that the bands from the early 90s like Nirvana, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. were able to combine the two factors. That doesn't exist anymore to me.
I'm a Tool fan and they get a considerable amount of radio play, although they are never going to be played on pop radio like the above bands were. And Muse? Meh, I think they are talented musicians but aren't quite my thing. Maybe in 20 years they will be viewed differently, but they seem much less original than the above bands were for their time...
